Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Incontinence is not a normal result of aging. A disturbance of the bladder, relaxation of the pelvic muscles, and reduced urethral resistance are all potential factors in the development of incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D

Stress incontinence involves a small leakage of urine when a client laughs, coughs, or lifts something heavy, not if a client just carries on a conversation. A client with incontinence would wear some kind of undergarment pad, a urinary catheter is not an expected finding. If the client has been experiencing incontinence, the nurse might expect to see the skin inflamed and irritated because urine is very irritating to the skin.
